Gene expression patters suggest these are the cells that the virus can infect first.
This could be used to save crops, and genetically-engineer new ones.
The authors call it "a place where a human time-traveller would not last very long."
Scientists always thought animals need oxygen to survive. That's now a myth.
The seeds for the development of speech and language may have been sown many millions years earlier than scientists previously thought.
¿Por qué no los dos?
Most don't seem to mind the extra space to roam.
Like humans, mice also immediately change their facial expression in response to internal emotioanl sates, such as fear, disgust, or pleasure.
It's helping us piece together the human family tree.
While the study focused on the UK, the results point to plankton woes on a global level.
A newly-discovered dinosaur species from New Mexico is one of the last raptors to have walked the Earth, researchers report -- and they were feathered.
The team is currently working on adapting it for use against the coronavirus.
"More severe infections may have even longer shedding times."
Finally, some good news for the environment!
An analysis of more than 300 marine plant, animal, plankton, and fish species found that they’ve increasingly moved towards the poles as the climate grew warmer over the last century. Their abundance has also been changing as the species adapt to shifts in suitable living areas. One of the silver linings of the study is […]
It's tiny.
The team is "very excited" about the findings.
So far, the method is just a “tool for exploration”.
If it benefits both us and the planet, I'm happy.
This could pave the way towards a cure.
“The lower ocean crust is one of the last frontiers of the exploration for life on Earth," said the researchers.
The findings could open up new treatment options for conditions that involve nerve degradation.
Researchers were surprised to see loggerhead turtles respond to the odor of marine plastic like it was their favorite food.
"Striking similarities" between the two viruses make them vulnerable to the same compounds.
Humans and rats seem to share the same brain region responsible for empathetic behavior.
Invasive species are one of the most overlooked environmental threats.
It's beautiful and eerie.
It's a startling condition that's difficult to detect.
Greater plant diversity benefits everyone in the ecosystem, a new study reports. Higher levels of plant diversity allow ecosystems to utilize more energy and more efficiently, new research found. Ecosystems with 60 or more plant species contained twice the amount of living biomass, on average, than ecosystems built on plant monocultures. This is the first […]
Bee brains seem to use alpha waves similarly to primate brains.
Not all is well in the ocean.
We though all life needs oxygen. We were wrong.
Poisonous -- not venomous.
It's cheap, eco-friendly, and actually outperforms synthetic glue in certain cases.
It's the oldest green algae we've found.
Researchers at Cornell University discovered a new species of bacteria that can break down organic contaminants in the soil. The new species was named Paraburkholderia madseniana in honor of the late Gene Madsen, the microbiology professor who started the research. The species is particularly adept at breaking down aromatic compounds (ring-like molecules of carbon), a […]
Seems you can learn some useful tips from watching TV after all.
"At the end of the day, fighting climate change is really what we need to be advocating for."
The microbes in our guts have helped our ancestors adapt to new environments.
"This approach can be applied to other antibiotics and help us discover new ones," the team explains.
All the sci-fi I read as a kid is becoming just sci.
The drug diagnosis takes less than two minutes and could prove to be a useful forensics tool in the future.
Dinosaurs on coins? Shut up and take my money!
The fossils could tell us more about the changes ancient wasps went through as they evolved into bees.
A car-sized turtle may have been the largest to have ever lived.
A new lineage of humans has been identified in the DNA of certain African populations. But no one knows what they looked like or what happened to them.
It's a berry important task for wolves.
